Developer Licences

for the professional developer

A developer licence allows a single user to run the Dyalog development environment on a single computer as a tool for application development, a personal productivity tool and a platform for running applications developed using Dyalog.

Server/Processor Run-Time Licences

for sharing applications

A Server Run-Time Licence is charged by the number of users while a Processor Run-Time Licence is charged by the number of CPU cores (irrespective of how many cores are used to run the Dyalog-based applications). It includes access to upgrades and support.

Generally, a Server Run-Time Licence is better suited for large or complex applications while Processor Run-Time Licences are more economical for lightweight applications (few CPU resources) that have a large user base.

Royalty-Based Run-Time Licences

for the exploration of new markets

A royalty-based fee is well suited for the exploration of new markets as it reduces the licence investment. It is also beneficial for consultancies and software vendors who need to be up-to-date on Dyalog versions and platforms.

A Royalty-Based Licence costs 2% of all revenue generated by sales, consulting and support of applications using Dyalog and is usually paid periodically in arrears.

This licence covers all required run-time licences for users of services or software delivered by the royalty licence holder. The licence requires a current Commercial Developer Licence and includes access to all Dyalog development environments, upgrades and support.

Shrink-Wrapped/Single-User Run-Time Licences

for off-the-shelf solutions

A Shrink-Wrapped/Single-User Run-Time Licence is not hosted and shared by a set of users; instead, an installation package is distributed to a set of users and each user installs an individual Run Time Licence on their own desktop. This licence is well suited for the one-off distribution of simple applications that do not require upgrades or support.

Dyalog File Server (DFS) Licences

for the fast and secure sharing of data

The Dyalog File Server (DFS) licence allows users to share data over networks through the Dyalog Component File system (DCF). The file server is a client-server system that manages the DCF system on behalf of all the users.

Component files give users the flexibility to create a wide variety of data storage mechanisms and the DFS offers users a variety of advantages within security, performance, operations and recovery.

Educational Licences

for the student or educational establishment

Dyalog Ltd offers students the opportunity to learn and use Dyalog at no cost.

An educational licence includes the same features and functionality as a Personal Developer Licence but is restricted solely to educational purposes. Each educational licence holder is required to sign an agreement in which they guarantee that:

The licence holder is enrolled in an educational programme

The software will not be copied

The software will not be handed over to anyone else

The software will not be used for commercial purposes

In cases where the licence is granted to a University or School, the licence holder is responsible for making their students aware of the conditions.

NOTE: If Dyalog is used to develop educational tools, then an appropriate low-cost licence can be negotiated with Dyalog Ltd.
